So I was on the way home tonight and and managed to send a deer airborne every bit of 60 yrds into the ditch. I admit after the intial shock wore off the sight of this deer flying was really cool. and only one side of my grill is busted, and the bumper or headlights don't have a scratch. seriously impressed with cherokee at the moment

(also my wife hit one about three weeks ago with only a hairline crack in the driverside headlight)

The irony behind all of it though is that i'm waiting for my winch bumper anyday now from L&L Fab but o well, might just get a billet grill now lol

Had a friend hit one on the interstate a few years back. It came through the windshield of the minivan and came to rest between his two kids in the back seat. His eyes were filled with glass and he did a miraculous job of stopping from 70 mph without being able to see!

Wow... you must have hit it perfect and it must have been a small deer...

I remember in my friends car a while back a late 70's Lincoln continental. Hit a decent sized deer which was tossed only about 20 feet away... ended up crumpling the headlight area, bent the bumper and crumpled the hood. That thing was a 5,000 lb land barge...
